True Phoenix Mansion was designed in a western way. It was four-story tall and had a look that seemed to be refined over time. There was a peaceful silence in the courtyard that we walked on. The whole area 200 meters around the mansion was the property of the Sheng family.
The mansard roof was golden and black, a symbol of authority and wealth befitting a high-ranking Qi gathering cultivator.
There were peach blossom trees planted on the courtyard and as we walked between those, their shadows covered us. Birds chirped over us and insects crawled beneath. I breathed in the fresh air of this place.
The servants that came to greet us followed in silence. When we reached the mansion doors, Sheng Shao was there to greet us.
